We are so excited!!!
Vacation Bible School 2025 is finally here!!
We had an amazing time at our Jungle-Themed Vacation Bible School last week! With over 95 children in attendance and more than 40 dedicated volunteers, our church was filled with energy, excitement, and the love of God. Special shout out to our youth - we had over 20 teenagers wake up early on their summer breaks to help out each day and make VBS extra fun for these children! Way to lead by example!
Throughout the week, the kids explored important truths about who God is and how they are important, cared for, loved, forgiven, and called by God. Through engaging stories about Samuel, Queen Esther, Peter, Jesus, and the early church, the children learned not only Bible facts but also what it means to live out their faith and share God's love with others.
It was especially meaningful to welcome children who had never been to church before. Watching them ask questions, discover biblical truths, and grow in their understanding of God was a joy and a blessing to witness.
A heartfelt thank you to each and every volunteer who gave of their time, resources, and prayers to make this week a success. Your generosity and dedication truly made a lasting impact—and helped plant seeds of faith that will continue to grow!
Blessings,
Hannah Bland
